Chipotle Black Bean Chilaquiles

Ingredients:
Spring onion - 2

Black Bean Chilaquiles
Black Bean Chilaquiles
Serves 4; 3/4 cup per serving
Chilaquiles is a traditional Mexican breakfast dish in which crisp tortillas are simmered in salsa or mole sauce and then combined with eggs, queso fresco (fresh Mexican cheese), and beans. In this version, fresh tomato, cilantro, and jalapeño add more flavor. For a spicier dish, leave in the jalapeño seeds.
• 6 large egg whites
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 6-inch corn tortillas, stacked, cut into 3/4-inch strips, then cut crosswise into 1-inch squares
• 1/2 cup crumbled queso fresco or farmer’s cheese and 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco or farmer’s cheese, divided use
• 3/4 cup canned no-salt-added black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 teaspoon chipotle powder
• 2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 medium jalapeño, seeds and ribs discarded if desired, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups chopped seeded tomatoes
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
In a large bowl, using a fork, lightly beat the egg whites, eggs, and salt. Stir in the tortilla squares and 1/2 cup queso fresco.
In a small bowl, stir together the beans and chipotle powder. Fold into the egg white mixture. Set aside so the tortillas can soften.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the onion and jalapeño for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir the tomatoes into the egg white mixture. Pour into the skillet. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are set, stirring occasionally. Just before serving, sprinkle with the cilantro and the remaining 1/4 cup queso fresco.
Cook’s Tip: An easy way to chop cilantro is to pull the leaves off the stems, put them in a custard cup or measuring cup, and coarsely snip them with sharp kitchen shears. This method also works well for other herbs, such as parsley and basil.

The Refried Bean Secrets Mexican Restaurants Use – 3 Stages for Tacos, Tostadas & More
I used to own a Mexican Restaurant in the Rio Grande Valley and the amazing chefs I worked with taught me the secrets of refried beans...
///
Getcha Some APC BBQ Rubs Here:

These refried beans are sometimes called runny, sticky and retefritos…and the restaurants will serve their refried beans based on the dish being ordered.
… but the first secret is that it all starts with a good pinto bean recipe.
For Terry’s favorite pinto beans recipe we’re gonna use:
– 2.5 C of Casserole Pinto Beans – these our are FAVORITE brand of beans
– 2 Garlic Cloves
– 2 Strips of Thick Cut Hickory & Mesquite Smoked Bacon
– About half J & B Salt Pork
_ A little more or a little less of each ingredient, to your preference
and
– 2 tsp of APC OG, you can salt to taste later
The cooking process for these is super simple in the crock pot. NO soaking needed. You just need to set it to high to get them simmering and check it every hour or so with a little stir. Depending on the crock pot these should take about four to five hours MAX!
And BONUS! In this video we’re also gonna show you what I call the THREE STAGES OF REFRIED BEANS! Stage 1 is the runny bean, perfect for scooping up with a Mexican spoon. Stage 2 is a little drier bean cooked with a little lard perfect for spreading on a tortilla or on a plate. And Stage 3 we add a little more yummy lard and take them to a little toasty finish, incorporating all of the yummy crispy goodness from the bottom of the pan. I love these for chalupas because they won’t make your tortillas soggy and the flavor, oh baby is several notches above the other two.
